Horrific: Mother kills, eats baby in Texas

In what appears to be the worst probable case of Post-Partum Psychosis ever, a Texas woman brutally murdered, dismembered and ate her newborn child.

The woman, Otty Sanchez, was a diagnosed schizophrenic and known to struggle severely with issues of psychosis, but the murder was obviously a huge shock to relatives and authorities. Like Andrea Yates before her, Sanchez heard voices and believes Satan influenced her. Scott Buchholz, father of baby Scotty and fellow schizophrenic, broke up with Sanchez last week. He is now calling for her execution.

“She was a sweet person and I still love her, but she needs to pay the ultimate price for what she has done,” said Scott W. Buchholz, who referred to his child as “baby Scotty.” “She needs to be put to death for what she has done.”

Buchholz, who was at a Whitesnake and Judas Priest concert the night his three-week old baby was murdered, added that Otty Sanchez should “burn in hell.”

Responders to the scene are unlikely to ever forget what they saw when they arrived at the house Sanchez and her two older children occupied. Baby Scotty lay dead- decapitated, face torn away and three of his toes bitten off. Sanchez was on a couch with self-inflicted wounds to the torso and throat and shouting that she’d “killed her baby.” The other two children in the home at the time of the brutal murder were unharmed.

Scarily, it looks like Scotty’s father may get his wish- Sanchez was charged with capital murder. A neighbor of Sanchez spoke to the AP regarding the woman’s state of mind and possible eventual recovery.

“…once she gets back in her right mind, she’s going to be devastated.”

Everyone says that, and the important distinction is that it wasn't standard PPD like you had, it was post-partum PSYCHOSIS. These women literally have psychotic breaks that make them completely insane and unaware of their actions. The only way this can be prevented is by better screening women at risk for the disorder which occurs in 1 out of 1,000 births.

In Texas, we execute men, women, children, retards, sane and insane. This woman's fate is sealed.

Having said that, I'm personally opposed to the death penalty under any circumstances (I don't believe anyone has the right to willfully take the life of another, be it the government or an individual). I will admit that this particular case tests the limits of that personal belief.

If you look at it from an objectivist, pro-death penalty point of view, the death penalty is supposed to act as a deterrant, and as a safety valve to flush out the worst of the worst from society. It doesn't matter the motivations of atrocities – you could argue that Hitler was chemically imbalanced (and it wouldn't be a tough argument to make). Does that mean that since he wasn't in his right mind that he didn't deserve the most harshest sentence that justice dictated? It doesn't matter the state of mind, and, again, from an objectivist standpoint, it's *more* important to flush out those who are genetically disposed to chemical imbalances that result in atrocities and murder.

I'm with you on this one Kim. Only those that work in the mental health field see how much those with psychotic mental health disorders truly suffer. Comparing this woman to Hitler is a poor comparison at best. Hitler wasn't hallucinating he was actively working towards a goal, while that goal was horribly atrocious it was based on his views and personal ambitions. This woman didn't have a child so that she could devour it, she was clearly psychotic which seems to be even more supported by the fact that she immediately mourned her act (attempted suicide) and additionally that she did not physically harm her other children that were in the home. Of all of the psychiatric disorders it is my opinion that psychosis would be the worst to experience. I also agree that in this situation the death penalty is totally inappropriate (and I support the death penalty myself for rapists, cold-blood murders-not during psychosis being the distinguishing factor, and child predators). This woman absolutely needs to be locked away for the remainder of her life, but in a mental health treatment facility, receiving treatment. Honestly, my guess is this woman actually would prefer the death penalty. I know that if I killed my child in an acutely psychotic state I would want to die, especially so if it was as horrific a circumstance as this. I truly pity this woman, her children, extended family and friends. I cannot begin to imagine what they are experiencing in the wake of this.

I'm also personally opposed to the death penalty, but not because I think revenge killing is even necessarily unethical. Anyone who loses someone they love can understand bloodlust in a situation like this.

I'm also not very up on capital punishment in that I don't know exactly how weighted mental illness is (by law, not accounting a jury) but if the woman is truly as psychotic as she appears to be, then I'd class this a definite case of “by reason of insanity”- it couldn't possibly be gray. Whether she killed the baby by suffocating or by the horrific way she did shouldn't be a factor. Maybe it is, but it shouldn't be.

Well said- I do understand Mark's point and what he was driving at, but whenever I read about people who suffer terrible psychotic breaks it makes me think how it must be like a horror movie for them. We know insanity exists and failures in treatment are the cause of these types of tragedy. It's got to be impossible to deter the truly ill from committing violent physical acts against others because they're essentially loaded weapons walking around. It's scary for them and scary for society but the death penalty in cases like this – just imagine if the amount of money and time and resource spent on one case like this was put towards finding and treating people before they go off, something might actually be prevented rather than mourned after the fact.

Something led up to this, if the father knew this woman had a mental problem why the HELL is at a concert. I am sure there were signs that led up to this. This is upsetting, Post-Partum Psychosis is no joke and to mix this with schizophrenic, someone should have been with her at all times. The doctors who were treating her should be questioned as well. This is a sad case, she should not be executed she need to go to a mental hospital for the rest of her life. The father should be charged as well.

While i agree with Kim Lacapria on some of the things she has pointed out, I personally believe in capital punishment. I am not a vicious, blood thirsty, inhumane individual, but justice will never be served as long as this woman is breathing. With capital punishment in effect, this world can get rid of the “bad people” (this is the only nice way I can put it at this time) and the crime rate would go down tremendously. Criminals these days have this mindset: If i can murder my worst enemy or in the Sanchez case, my innocent baby and get by with it with just a slap of a hand (just a few years hard time in a prison where I can eat for free, exercise, play racquetball, lounge about at the taxpayers expense) you get the idea…. then I'm going to go for it, (if that is the worst case scenario). Do i believe Otty Sanchez should be executed. YES. Why? She knew what she was capable of doing, she knew she was a schizo, she knew she had postpartum psycho schizo depressive disorder. And by no way am I trying to be cute. But yet she did nothing about it. didn't turn to her aunt, sister, brother, uncle, preacher, neighbor, husband, and say “hey, i am having delusional thoughts, i am thinking about slaughtering my innocent newborn and cannibalizing my innocent newborn, i need help and i need it now”. With her past medical history, she should have recognized and known the signs. She should have asked for help, her family should have recognized the signs and offered help. I believe the icing on the cake though, is this….Otty Sanchez refused to take her medications that she so desperately needed especially at the time when she really needed it the most. While I agree with Kim's analogy that someone driving down the road, can experience a heart attack, die and hit innocent kindergartners walking across a crosswalk at a school, It also depends on the situation and set of circumstances at hand. A person that experiences a heartattack, 99% of the time has no warning, but with Sanchez the warning signs were there. They were there from the very beginning. With that said, Otty Sanchez should be held liable for her actions. Her irresponsible actions. I am sick and tired of hearing she had a mental disease, disorder, whatever. She may have had a legit mental disorder, but for that poor innocent little baby who trusted his mother to take care of him, to love him and nuture him it is too late. I bet now she will seek help. Again, unfortunately, it is too late for the little one. And one more thing, has she heard of birth control? With her past medical history, i don't think it was wise to bring a little baby into her twisted world.

You are right on cindydr12. I am so sick of hearing “oh it was a mental breakdown”. This woman had a clear history of mental illness. She obviously had no business having custody of her children. The father should be smacked in the face or something. He knew that woman was crazy…so why go to a concert instead of making sure his babies were safe??? IDIOT. That poor baby…my heart breaks everytime I see or hear about this horrible story.

To the idiot chefboyarde, you are a sadistic heartless person to put a comment like that on here. GROW UP.

That poor little thing, he never had a chance. The problem is she was a sick woman and shoudlnt have been allowed to be with that baby after being admitted. The state doesnt get involved and then its too late. What a disgrace. Chefboyardee-you are a loser who proabably forgot to take your own meds.

fuck that bitch she deserves to worst then death and there ru wrost things then death beat her within a inch of her life then heal her up then do it again over and over again then the devil can have her

oh wow, this is really truly horrible.i personally think she should be put to death for what she put that poor baby through. its bad enoughto kill an infant, let alone do all the insane things she did.this is honestly one of the most horrific acts of murder i have ever heard about.

nothing anybody can say, can manage to take upfor the crime she has commited. its horrible and a shame that she did that to her own flesh and blood.rather the “devil told her to do it” or not its stillwrong anyway you look at it.

This is ridiculous. This lady was a diagnosed schizophrenic. she has 2 other children. why is she having children? is she working? how is she paying to live? OH WAIT, OBVIOUSLLY SHE'S GETTING SOCIAL HELP AND HAVING YET ANOTHER CHILD.

WHY are we letting people have children without a license? this is ridiculous. why WOULDNT we kill this lady. whether she knows what she did or not, she still did it and will do NO good to society or her other children if she is returned to the public. ALSO, why should we pay to keep her in prison? what will that teach anyone?

I have three children of my own and I cant imagine doing something like that to them but then again I dont have any mental issues. I feel sorry for everyone in this from the poor innocent baby to the family and including the women who did it. If she really had a break down and lost control of what she was doing, when she pops back into reality imagine how she is gonna feel, Its like waking up from a nightmare but it was actually reality. I couldn't even imagine that happening to me! I would probably want them to put me to death to but she has two other children that she needs to think about and probably wants to see them grow up. God is the only one who knows what exactly to do in this situation. God for give her! and bless everyone who was hurt by this horrible circumstances! Let that baby RIP, God bless his soul! I dont think she should die for actions that she wasn't able to control. And who are you to say that your tired of hearing that she was insane? This is the world we live in people. I think the hospital who sent that baby home with her should get in trouble, they knew of her issues. But I guess Im just looking for someone else to blame.

this bitch is sick and yes i called her a bitch, i have no respect for a woman that would do that to an innocent child who didnt ask to be part of her crazy ass life! and if she was so crazy why were the oler children un harmed? makes u think she may have been schizophrenic but i think she targeted the baby for some reason or another i think it had to do with the babies father.And why is it that she had any of the children in her mental state anyways??????

yes, i am sick and tired of hearing she was insane. She was insane, that is fact. this we know. no one in their “right mind” would do this to their baby. it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that she is mentally sick and incompetent. it still doesn't change the ghastly outcome and the fact she refused apposite treatment. With this treatment, her baby may still be alive today. i'm also sick, tired and disgusted that anyone in their right state of mind, would think this is the world we live in, hey just deal with it. is this how you perceive things? Is this your way of saying it is okay because this is just the world we live in, shit happens? Unfortunately, yes this is the world we live in, it's not a dream. It's cold, hard reality. so wake up because i think you are dreaming. sick, demented people like her should not be allowed to co-exist in “this world” we live in. She doesn't deserve to live and she doesn't deserve a second chance. anyone capable of doing what she has done to her own flesh and blood could definetely do worse things to others she does not know. if people like her are not disposed of, yes disposed of; then whenever she is released from the insane asylum in the year 2020, what makes you think she wouldn't do this to someone elses's child. i don't know about you, but this world “i live in” is very important to me, my sweet child is important to me, my husband and family is important to me and i am glad they share this world with me. and yes, you are looking to fault or blame everyone else except the crazy psychopath that desecrated her sweet baby.

well Im not on here to argue with anyone on their opinions on this situation but God put everyone on this planet for a reason. Don't get mad at me cuz I speak the truth. I love my kids and my husband to but I cant stop God from doing his work. I dont live in fear like I use to. I can only pray and let my family know whats out in this world. I walk with faith everyday that my family will be okay. All I know is that your suppose to walk in love and not in hate. who are you to say when someone should die? everyone is a seiner and no sin is worst then the other in Gods eyes. Sorry if I made you upset. I will love you anyways, just remember life is to short as you see. Im sure you dont love your family any more then I love mine. I just dont think you should be talking about people like that, disposed of, like their trash? What, should we kill everyone with mental problems before they could harm anyone? Or maybe we should make some laws for certain people before this happens again. I am woke and Im not living in a perfect lil world like you. I know things like this will happen again and we should find a way to prevent it from happening but Im pretty sure when someone has no control over their actions and does something as terrible as this it will wake up a lot of people, family and friends of people who have a mental problems and at least try to stop this from reoccurring. Now there probably will be laws to have the hospitals take more actions before letting patients like her leave with their babies. I want this world to be perfect too but I dont think that will ever happen on earth but it will when my time is up and Im siting next to God like that lil boy. I pray we will learn from this situation and not fall and judge people that we dont know nothing about and only what we read. Its sad how people can have so much hate in their hearts. Please dont take this personal its just my one lil opinion.

That's terrible but this dude is such a piece of shit too… who the hell leaves their newborn alone with a very mentally disturbed mother to go to a goddamn rock concert? Hell, I LOVE concerts… but your kids come first! He should get the penalty as well! His daughter depended on CHILD on him too!

this mother is totally sick for killing her baby and then eating her child.its an evil act.babys are cute and helpless.
babys @children are innocent , she should get the death sentence.she didn't have to listen to voices.if she heard voices she should have seen a doctor.she should have giving her baby to her family members why she went to seek help.

He knew she had serious mental issues, had just given birth and went to see Whitesnake & Priest. She is very sick. This is horrific, but not worthy of capital punishment. Considering that he left a newborn and other children with a sick person during a high risk time for psychosis, he should strap himself onto the gurney too.

Where do you go from here? Both parents were schizophrenics, the mother is very sick and I can't imagine living the rest of my life knowing I did this to my child. I don't think she did this out of evil. The father sounds like scum. If he knew the mother of his child was sick, where was he? Mothers and fathers are responsible for the well-being of that child. Personally, if I suffered from an mental illness, I couldn't bring myself to have children out of fear of not being able to be a good enough parent. This is a tragedy.

both were seriousley mentally ill so its hard to blame him we don't if he knew she was having an episode he did ok with there other kids apparently she needs to be kept for years in a mental hospital or put to death.

So you wish to control the worlds population by restricting someone from having a child with someone they love? I find that to be terrible thing to say. If you have a problem with someone having a mental illness having a child then it really is YOUR PROBLEM.

You need to read what I wrote over again because you twisted my words. Where did I write about controlling the world's population? Like I wrote "This is why people with this condition should NOT be able to have children! There are people who have a personality disorder like bipolar, depending the history should not have children either." There was a show called Im Bipolar and Pregnant, therefore, it IS a concern of a person who is bipolar and having a baby. It is NOT my problem at all, it is an innocent child's problem. I guess you like reading about an innocent child being ate by its mother. I suggest you get an education and experience dealing with mentally ill people who have personality disorders. Perhaps you have a personality disorder and if you do, once again read what I wrote!

I agree totaly will it being part his falt he should have been home if he were home this most likey would not have been the outcome. people with disorders having babies isnt an issue if they are suported and the proper steps are thaken at the beginning when help is obviously needed… support is what she needed.. i still think she needs to pay bit i also think that her support system needs a reality check also

My husband and I are both bipolar n he has 5 kids n I have 2 and u don't see me doing shit like that! You should re-word ur post because I find it very offensive! There are people who have mental disorders but are still able to take care of their children VERY well! Thanks!

I don't think he's a jerk. She had two other children already that she was raising. U guys have to remember that not only was she schizoid but she had post pardum psychosis. And he's a fellow schizoid too. You can't blame and ask "where was he"? Come on people. He went to a concert.

She was known to struggle SEVERELY with issues of psychosis. Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality, usually including false beliefs about what is taking place or who one is (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations).

Would you want someone who has severe psychosis to care for your kids? HELL NO! There should at least be supervised professional care in the home. No child should be left alone with someone who is psychotic.

"The other two children in the home at the time of the brutal murder were unharmed." The writer should have put in the word "physically" unharmed. Emotional and psychological trauma is horrible, especially if they witnessed any of this, and will last a lifetime. These children will need years of therapy in order to heal.

Two schizophrenics paernts should not be allowed to care for children unsupervised.

This is a societal failure on so many levels, especially family members, and healthcare professionals.

I agree! This is the fault of others too, not just the mentally ill parents. I know we aren't in our rights to do mental health checks on every expected parent, but family + medical doctors SHOULD step up when the mentally ill conceive and attempt to raise healthy children.

Did you not read the part when he said they had broken up a week ago? Why the fuck should he be held accountable?? PPD is a "snap moment" not a long term ordeal. There is NO way he would've known what was going to happen. Now, let's finish this story by letting the bitch get torn apart by rabid dogs.

it makes me sick and it frightens me that some one even some one who's mentaly ill could ever kill and eat there own child or any child for that matter and her other kids are most likely going to be tramatized for the rest of there lives.

This woman is known to be mentally unstable..it was the job of children and family services to make sure that this baby was taken care of properly. This woman needs help..and to be put in a hospital. I know a woman right now..who has been molested and raped by many family members/and so called friends of the family since she was 7..I reported this info(more then once over the years) that was given to me by the young lady herself..and 'nothing' at all was done. She has since had a baby..she is on social security because of her mental state…and still she is left to take care of another human being. When she can not even take care of herself. No one wants to bother stepping in to do anything. More often than not people slip through loop holes…and do not get the help they need…they are to ill to ask for it themselves. Sad..

Come on people. He went to a concert. my roomate's ex-wife makes $79/hr on the laptop. She has been out of a job for 9 months but last month her pay was $8641 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site CashLazy.*com

My grandmother had this mental disease too and she tried killing both of her kids in one of her fall downs so I do agree that people with this type of diseases shouldn't be allowed to have children Thr they can harm in one of their episodes! Just stating my opinion!!!

How much worse can the human race get? This is the most sickest thing I've ever herd… I am a mother of a 13 month old little girl, I had bad post pardum depression and I could never even think about hurting my poor innocent child, this is inhumane and just plain sick
This woman needs to rot in hell.

Saying who can and can't have kids IS controlling the population. Please understand that attempts to control the population, as Hitler did, isn't always with the motivation to reduce the population. Also, the woman in this article was suffering from schizophrenia and postpartum psychosis, which is ENTIRELY different from bipolar disorder. Why you're trying to relate the two is beyond me, because it's not a logical point at all. Quite honestly, it makes you sound quite a bit ignorant.

Wow is this serious. Wth I'm so mad now how could someone do Tht to a poor innocent child. I swear wen I see things lyk this I wish I could go in Tht point in time wen its happening to save them and beat the crap out of them. No child deserves any harm. What has this world come to.

OMG how cruel =( i was getting postpartum depreciation and i would see my self doing horrible things to my princess </3 what i did was talked to my family of what was happening to me and itold them that i would see myself banging my daughter against the floor..i would cry at night begging God not to let me harm my baby and thanks to him and my family i got over it..See the problem with some woman is that they dont know when they have it and if they do they dont tell anyone…

You are the uninformed, I have Bipolar, yet have two children of my own, care for two who aren't mine, run an abuse awareness site, and go to school to become a licensed clinical social worker with a socal worker msw. That's a masters degree with two years of specialty. So should I also have been not allowed to procreate? Please forgive my atrocious spelling and punctuation as my phone is not working well guys!

Look at what I wrote, I said depends with what degree, level, severeness it is. The last person I dealt with who had it was a HORRIBLE person and a child molester. Stop twisting my words. There was a show about being Bipolar and pregnant. Many bipolar people are dangerous at different areas in their life that hurt others. And no, I was not uninformed either. I have talked to professionals, looked it up and more concerning the BS the bitch who has it has done. I have dealt with others as a BHT who have it and were diagnosed with it. Bipolar is also the #1 diagnosis and there are many people who are diagnosed with it and really arent for they dont have coping skills to deal with life or want an excuse to their behavior.
There are a lot of people who are bipolar that also hear voices, hallucinate and more. Oh and you talk of being bipolar, I dont trust them either because they lie, manipulate and more.

Michele Putman – I partially agree. My father was schizophrenic and was abusive to me growing up. I am bipolar and have a daughter that is also bipolar. However, I am NOT a bad mother and she isn't either. I also suffer from MPD, but I take medication and go to therapy to help me with my problems and I am NOT abusive, not a murderer and I don't eat people.

I'm with Brittney. That's not MEAN, it's protecting an innocent child who can't help who it's born to. So it's a 'Hitler' tendancy to say certain people should just not have kids? So when you decide to put pesticide down on your yard do you call yourself a nazi? I think not. So don't be hypocritical, because I know we have ALL looked at a parent at one time or another and thought they shouldn't have had kids.

No matter how terrible this, the government shouldn't be able to sterilize certain people. It is not the government's right to control this. There are plenty of people with all kinds of mental disorders who don't eat their children! and there are plenty of middle to upper class people, with no mental disorders, who do abuse their children.

yeah dude.. someone with broken cognitive function. You have zero understanding of what her condition was. It's not a choice like whether or not to go to the mall and buy shoes. People that suffer from this condition don't have the capacity to REALIZE the voices they're hearing are not real… let alone think "gee whiz I should see a doctor!"

What a horrible story. You're right that the mother will suffer regardless of what the law does. This tragedy could have been prevented! Services for the mentally ill prevent homicide, suicide, homelessness,and imprisonment, and can allow a person to live a normal life with their family. If her support system had been in place?

Why are people still commenting on this story? Ohh hey guys have you heard about that Jew thing happening over there in Europe. I think the guy leading the way is called Hitler or something just thought everyone should know.

As horrible as this tragic incident was, capital punishment should be reserved for people who are truly evil..not the mentally insane!! Dealing with postpartum depression itself is hard enough, but add schizophrenia and reality falls away…the woman killed her own baby, I'm sure she will be in a self inflicted living hell for the rest of her life! Social services should have been far more involved considering both parents are mentally ill! Children are taken out of their homes for far less.

Abbie Whitaker Are you a schizophrenic with postpartum depression? Women in that state need constant company! Women with no other history of mental illness have been known to kill their babies while dealing with PPD! He definitely should have made sure she at least had a friend or family member with her before leaving her with their children in her condition!

Lovely Steph J Yes…but not everyone has a loving supportive family! And on top of the PPD she was schizophrenic! The whole thing makes me want to cry, but I cannot say in my right mind that she should die! Her life is going to be hell regardless! I feel so bad for the entire family, especially her children!

I agree with Brittney on some level. If they have that potential of EATING their own child? That's just pure evil. There are pro's and con's to everything but I'm pretty sure the pro's might just out weigh the con's in this discussion.

what is wrong with this country besides the govt. time to take this bitch on the court house steps and skin her ass alive in public and on public TV this country needs to put a stop to all this bullshit start making examples out of people in public.

hatfields and mccoys they did it right when you killed some one time to go back to that age of justice hang them high and with in 24 hrs of conviction or shoot there sorry ass where ever they stand and throw there bodies in a ditch.

I totally get your being smart with my comment. Everyone has a mental issue. But if it gives them that kind of evil potential than no. They shouldn't. Or as I saw on someone else's comment, they shouldn't be left alone with their children. No matter what I say, you're going to argue like a child does. There has to be something done about this evil stuff and it's not 100% preventable but at least we're trying to think of ways to prevent things like this in the future. On every one of your comments towards others, you are twisting words and trying to make others sound stupid. Let's hear your solution.

Okay, let me put it this way… If my husband were to go out to a concert and left me home alone. Something happens to one of our children and fall and they get hurt. Thats my husbands fault for ME not watching them carefully? I get it, its different when the lady is sick but HE is also sick. So that's a little contradicting to me blaming a sick person for not watching their child when his wife is ALSO sick? I just don't think that makes sense. Also, it's not like he wasn't taking care of it. He went to a concert.

I don't disclaim her responsibility, but his belief that she deserves the death penalty is shocking considering his negilgence. A very sick woman (couple) with several children and a newborn means that concerts go out the window until the situation is stable. Parenting 101.

Thats why I believe they should have been watched over:/ because thats what it comes down to. Immaturity and we don't know exactly why he went but if it was to get abreak its understandable. But again, you make a good point about staying home and sacraficing those little things. At the same time, we don't know where they were as parents, etc. So I just hope everything goes the way it should. I'm don't get that either, how he wants her to get the death penalty. Makes him sound suspicious and un loving towards his wife.

Should this woman be punished? Yes. What she did was morally wrong, not to mention illegal. However, people knew of her state of mind, they KNEW she had psychosis and was clearly not on any medication to help regulate these delusions and they still left her alone with her children. I'm not defending what she did, what she did was wrong, and if she were in the proper state of mind like you or I, she would most certainly not have done what she had. This woman really needs medical care, PROPER medical care, not death, she is living in her own personal hell with her mental status enough as it is, when she comes out of her psychosis, do you really think shes going to not care what she had done? Like any one would be over the death of their child, once she is in the right state of mind, she WILL be DEVASTATED!

Well, thank goodness no judge would ever allow capital punishment to be an option for this case. Obviously the woman had lost COMPLETE touch with reality and did not know what she was doing when she committed the crime. Anyone with a passable knowledge of mental illness knows that given her condition she could not possibly be held responsible for what she did. She simply wasn't in her right mind.

I have recently recovered from depression as well as a few other mental illnesses. They run in my family – my mother had it, my grandfather had it. The comments on this post are disgusting. You people are sick.

When you have a mental illness you are not thinking rationally. It's not the same logic that you or I have. I've never had a psychotic episode, but I suffer from depression and during an episode the irrational things that I want to do MAKE SENSE. It makes perfect logic to me, in my mind, at that moment. It is very difficult to realize that you need help, and it takes incredible strength to go get it. Being able to realize when you are having an episode and what to do and how to get help are skills that need to be taught and are difficult to master. I can do it now but it took years of therapy.

I think murderers and child molesters should be sterilized, if not executed. If the murder was committed while in a psychotic break down then so be it, but to say anyone with a "serious" mental condition, what does "serious" mean to you? I've met people who have sever down syndrome, who are capable of having perfectly normal healthy babies mind you, should they not be allowed to have children? There should be ample help available to people who need it, mentally or physically, to HELP raise their children.

Brittney,,,, i totally agree with you… if there is any inkling of any instability in someone's mind,,,they should be forfeited to having children… if they can't take care of themselves 100%, what makes you think they can take care of a child!!! Sterilization seems to be a good option… You have to have at least 110% availability when it comes to a child. Children are defenseless, helpless, demanding, needy little human beings, it is the parent's obligation to mold them into well brought up civilized adults.

You are an idiot. Learn more about others who have it. When there are hallucinations, non-real reality perceptions, psychosis and so forth it IS personality disorder. If it was just a "mood" then it would be happy, sad, angry, not manipulation, lies, and more.

Amelia Boyd Read my last comment. Also it is hard to distinguish between bipolar and borderline personality disorder. And no, I do not trust those who have bipolar due to MOST have personality disorder(s) with their mood disorder. If just having a mood disorder was OK, then there would not be many people harmed by those diagnosed with it or a show called Im Bipolar and Pregnant.

Britta Toy Obviously, you having bipolar has caused you to not see the truth and how being bipolar can be dangerous as well as not reading what I wrote. If you cant understand the words it depends the severity or level of the disorder then you are ignorant. I am glad you learned to control it and realize what needs to be done for obviously you are a VERY SMALL percentage of those who have it have owned the problem whereas the rest have not for they use it as an excuse to do whatever. Hell, look at bipolar chick and look how MOST people on there laugh about how they have it and do not take charge of it and boast about how they were that last week, have unrealistic thoughts, views, and more. That site really does give those with bipolar a worse name than they think.

Read again, UNRELATED. Bipolar people RARELY have hallucinations and usually it's caused by a completely different underlying issue like sleep deprivation. But that's still not schizophrenia combined with post-partum psychosis.

It's still wrong on every level to say who can and can't have kids. What the woman in the article did nearly 3 years ago was wrong on every level, but saying certain people can't have kids wouldn't have prevented it. Many people live without a diagnosis because they can't afford to seek it, so saying they should be sterilized when you don't even know who they are would have been worthless.

And who bases the importance of their argument on a show?!?! That's pathetic.

Amelia Boyd get the hint of the dangers of being bipolar and pregnant. I did not watch the show that much and still that doesnt matter. I have dealt with others who are bipolar as well as with other personality disorders and when the person refuses to take control of the problem, uses it as an excuse to act bad and more, then YES, it is dangerous and can be at different levels. Bipolar is not only genetic, but can be learned as well. Like I said if those who have bipolar and other problems would take control of it and realize the whatever symptoms are coming on or what situation in their life can induce bipolar like symptoms and learn to deal or get away, learn if it is really genetic or learned, perhaps those who have it would not have as much of a bad reputation for it. Again, there are many who are also diagnosed with being bipolar and have something else.

Also for the record… and first I agree with you Crystal. I also agree with Jadiel Alvelo.. Not all mental disorders can cause a safety issue with children. And those that are on the proper medication and take it properly usually don't have an issue as long as they continue taking the medication. I'd like to see the dr's report stating that she had post partem psychosis. To try to control people who fall in love and wish to have children by saying that they are too mentally unstable to do so, is wrong. Two people in love should be able to have children if they feel they can raise them. You, my dear, are no better than anyone else that is prejudiced based on one piece of information about a person. And need to do some research of your own. My son is autistic..Mental disability.. are you saying that he should be kept from having kids if he so chooses to have kids? Also, you never call a child an 'it'. It's very rude to refer to a human being as an inanimate object.

How is it shunning responsibility for the father of this child to go see a concert? She felt she was capable of taking care of the kids or she would have asked him not to go. He has no responsibility in this travesty at all. The blame goes to the mother, completely. If she knew she couldn't take care of the kids at that time she should have asked for help. Either from the father of her baby or from a professional.

I don't think the father of Baby Scotty knew that she was that sick. Being in a post partum depression let alone psychosis doesn't always show as being as dangerous as it can be. It might just appear to others that the person is just slightly depressed, which is normal right after a baby is born.

Thank you Andrew. I was going to say something along those lines, but you beat me to it. @ Hannah. Congratulations on the therapy and all that you have accomplished. It takes a lot of courage to seek help. I'm glad you did.

Andrew Burd … baby daddy is the father of a baby and not necessarily the father of any other children the woman might have, and not necessarily the spouse of the woman using that term. It's a way of saying that this man is the baby's father and also state that the relationship is nothing more than that. No romantic relationship exists between the baby father and the baby's mother.

And no, I would not want two people who have a contagious disease like AIDS or a genetic disease or are carriers and a risk of 50% or higher is the reality of a child becoming injured due to either one.

Regardless if the woman had those disorders…..why in the hell would the doctors let that woman care for children knowin there would be a high possibility that she will hurt her self as well as other people…obviously if it went to the point that she was hearing voices…she was probably not following up with medications that needed to be taken.. and with her disorders she should have been monitored by an appropriate facility … I believe that she was probably mad that her so called sons father was at a concert and she was left to care for his child…oh and not to mention post partum depression..and her sons father was also schizoid ….the authorities and not to mention doctors should have carefully watched her and her family due to the disorders she had been diagnosed with…I think she should not have the pleasure of being killed…she should rot in jail and realize what she has done…

exactly (christine mattson carlson)
I believe the doctors played a huge role in the situation.. I mean knowing that she and her partner were both diagnosed with schizophrenia, and as well as her being diagnosed with multiple disorders… that obviously are characterized with aggression, hallucinations, and not to mention delusions ….i mean seeing people and hearing voices she really should have not been placed in home with her kids…cps should have been aware of her disorders. and the fact that there would have been a high possibility that she would hurt her self and other people

Good Ole Texas! Love all the baby killin' and baby eatin' that goes on in this very Religious state.

And of course, all the anti "Big Governement" Unabomber types think the right idea is the sterilization and intervention into the lives of ALL mental-ill citizens of this country. Typical low-level, lets go get a gun and kill 'em thinking you come to expect from the inbreeding right.

Hannah Taylor
I believe that even though depression plays a huge part in mainly most of the disorders the woman had..
being depressed is a severe disorder because it leads to even worse disorders and even suicide..
I mean in my mind i try to realize what went through a persons mind while in that situation of harming some one….I feel that we all have a little ticks now and then but to really kill and eat some one is really sick…the thing is your mind has to do with every singe thing u do..it controls you..and some people know how to control their own minds. But the fact that this woman was not on any medications and the doctor that diagnosed her with these disorders….did not put her on anything…i believe its the doctors fault as well..they should have put her on something at least or multiple meds…they say she had a down fall…..If her down fall was really bad then it wouldnt have only been the baby she harmed..it would have been all the kids…like all the other lady's on the news….they didnt only kill or try to kill one kid they did or tried to kill them all…..if they had multiple kids

If she was "known" to have to struggle severly with psychosis" why was she caring for three children alone? Let alone an infant? And why would you kill someone so sick? Would you kill someone with a more visible disease (such as Down's? <sorry if I offended there but it's the only visible mental disability I could think of>. Pray for her & the children. She's going to have to live with herself. That's more torture than we can inflict. I think whoever was among the "knowing" needs to be called upon. While we do not want to mandate who can & cannot have children, we can mandate support services.

Maybe if there was enough funding to support social services, things like this wouldn't fakk through the cracks. It's likely not the direct fault of any agency but the financial decisions not to fund people in need so some can have that Lear jet and 4th home on the Rivera.

Yeah, dad's one to talk. The redneck is out partying at a concert while his girlfriend, who was KNOWN to have problems with schizophrenia, is at home with their baby at quite possibly the ripest time for a postpartum episode. Want to point fingers and scream for someone's blood, dad? Start by hanging your own crazy ass! YOU'RE NO SAINT!

People, please! Having children carries A LOT of responsibility and liability. It's not a wise choice for just ANYONE to have kids! Something of such consequence (even more so than driving a car) should be a privilege, not a right! Ever seen Idiocracy? That's the legacy you yahoos are supporting! I'm not talking a talk I haven't walked. I had myself sterilized – and had to FIGHT to get it done – for similar reasons. My family bloodline is riddled with addicts. Sometimes, it's kinder not to have a kid than to have one you know will probably be an alcoholic or mentally ill. But if anyone wants to disregard the fact that they may not be fit parents, be selfish and litter the earth with their seed so they can feel "immortal," well, it is still unfortunately your constitutional right. But what will happen to our country when everyone becomes selfish and makes bad decisions? Then the laws will change and we'll lose our freedoms. A government by the people only works if the people are sensible and responsible. If we can't act responsibly, the government will eventually start trying to force us to become "better" citizens. MARK MY WORDS!

This is a trend story. It is the most unfortunate thing that happened to this innocent child but the media is feeding off of the "zombie eating" in Florida and giving us what we want to see at the moment. I am not saying this is a tragedy by any means. Being a parent of two I could not imagine the future for the other two children. I agree with the post below that having two schizophrenic parents should have set off some alarms and this could have been avoided. The problem with society today is we don't want to get involved when in fact we should. I pray for these kids that survived and I hope that they can endure the inevitable future that they will face.

Baby daddy is the sperm donor. When immature people unready for a commitment play house and make an accidental baby (either accidental or for more government income), then the male partner is a "baby daddy". The female partner is a "moron".

wow… Can you imagine if she was on bath salts? and this disorder at the same time! Your right Christine Mattson, there were so many failures at so many levels in this case. They really should'nt put all capital punishment solely on her. But hey that's the system for ya..

Yes, and I am sure she was placed on strong medications and strongly advised by her doctors not to have childen, if for no other reasons than the side effects of the schizophrenia medication alone. So why are you blaming a doctor ( for not forcing her to remain incarcerated, for not force-feeding her medications, or for not forcing sterility on her ). The doctor has the power to do neither of the three, the doctor can only make recommendations and provide guidance and it is beyond his control to decide who procreates. But since you are blaming the doctors for this, it appears that you feel the doctor should have right to castrate the mentally ill… you might want to also see if you can get criminals, ugly people, anyone with an IQ below 90, and other groups to be forcibly castrated. Yes, ridiculous, but so was blaming a doctor for what a patient does. This is one of the most horrible things I have ever heard and we all have strong reactions, but just because you can say something stupid doesn't mean that you should.

Even though schizophrenia has stong genetic links there is no laws that make it illegal for the patient suffering schizophrenia to take their medications or for them not to have children. This is just a horrible tragedy and I just pray that the infant's suffering was minimal; and for the emotional health and well-being of the first responders and others who witnessed such a tragedy. I don't know how anyone could deal with this

hahaha BABY DADDY) why do people say a baby daddy is some one not paying child support or is paying child support but there is not romantic relation going on with the parents….the correct term is that he is your babies father or your child's father how ever you want to say it in correct English. It is just slang dumb people started using so they wont have to use correct English and its easier than having to say father i guess. It means nothing about child support nor does it mean anything about a person who accidentally had a baby with some random person. It means that the man you had sex with and later had a baby with is your babies father. People always try to cut words so they wont have to use correct English oh and Marry Henry. I believe you are right about the ghetto talk

OK. well now I would like to state my own comment. I see that a lot of people stating that she does not deserve capital punishment. I see a lot of people stating that she was a nice person. I mean honestly how would you feel if she did it to your brother or sister, even your own child. would that upset you? would you hate her for doing it? Would you want her to suffer? and then there are people that say "oh well she was struggling." to be honest with you, people struggle every single day. Those who cant afford food, that live on the streets, little kids being raised in a country of war and pain. because she had a 3rd child and couldn't handle it. That gives her the right to do what she did and then plead insanity. Every single person on the news that has not been shot dead like that man from Miami they have all said that the devil told them to after killing all of their children. If I was a cop I would have asked if she had ever herd of birth control on having her tubes tied. If she was not mentally stable then why have another child to begin with. I would have told her why the hell didn't she keep her legs closed. Obviously she was in the right mind to have sex, but yet didn't want to deal with the responsibilities after having the baby. I have seen 18 years old females raising 4 kinds, and your telling me she was incapable of taking care of one more child that was clearly almost a new born and only eat, shits, and cries. I am a mother of one and don't get me wrong it is hard and will only become harder as the years progress, but that doesn't mean that I will just give up. I read a comment a man posted about just not having kids at all and yes he is right. If you feel like you want a kid then adopt do not bring more kids in this world than there already is. We are extremely over populated and there are a lot of children that need homes and for people to love them. and for those who have multiple kids that cant even take care of them. please don't hurt the child by starvation or abuse give them to some one that will care for them, Those people that cant have kids, it would be a blessing for them even to adopt a baby. and yes I know my punctuation is all fucked up but if you understand what I say then obviously its readable.

Portia Merritt ( by all means they both are blamed of what happened. Just because they were not mentally stable doesn't mean shit. Both of they should suffer and rot in jail. I mean no sense of remorse for the child that lets you know the parents never cared.

Michele Putman not all people with these issues do terrible things, come on now, I am a care giver and work around people with a many issues and have raised very healthy kids, that broad should not have been allowed to have kids due to her diagnoses but to generalize it is stupidity, its like saying no one should have babys, because they might have post pardum. what really needs to happen in cases such as these is monitoring by family and educated social service workers.

Kenneth DaVille Fanska yup cause people with mental dissorders should be tortured and put to death, you know eye for an eye, right? kno proper help should have been put in place. not mindless bruitality…

Anisa M Palmer Once again, you cannot comprehend what I said. It is just insane how you people with bipolar cannot understand that I wrote it depends what the severity of it is. I DID NOT state that every one with bipolar should not have kids. If you read the FIRST sentence I said with the condition the mother has who ate her own child. And comparing postpardum depression to bipolar is ignorant.

wow so i guess all of u who think people whom think that others with mental issues should have the right to have children taken from them should hand their kids over to CPS right now, their is no such thing as normal, all familys show signs of dis-function. yes her doctors should have done something, she will punish herself enough, she will live in her own hell isnt that better then putting her to death and letting her take the easy way out. he who is without sin

For the record everyone, since this story suddenly became so popular in light of the Causeway Cannibal attack, this event actually happened three years ago, not recently — as has been mistakenly stated in recent headlines. This is NOT part of the "Zombie Apocalypse." I checked up on Otty Sanchez and she has been found not guilty by reason of insanity (a verdict I totally agree with) and has been committed to a maximum-security psychiatric institution indefinitely. I would not be her for all the money in the world. To think someone could lose their mind like that, do such a terrible thing, and then come to their senses and have to live with it — in a warehouse with a bunch of other people who are so mentally ill it's scary? I don't hate her. My heart bleeds for her. Her baby's in heaven. But she is in hell. And do I think the government should arbitrarily ban mentally ill people from having babies? Maybe it wouldn't need to if families and communities stepped up and helped such people. Would you let a raging alcoholic drive a car any time they feel like it? Of course not. That's motherhood. It's a big decision. It affects others. When you have a baby, it's not just about you anymore. It's about being the best parent you can be and being able to keep that baby safe. If you can't even keep yourself safe, you're so out of control, the RESPONSIBLE thing to do is to decide not to take on a baby. It should be a personal choice. In a perfect world, this would not be an issue. But what do you do with people who don't make good choices? Is it the government's responsibility to protect these people from themselves? I'm from the Deep South, and traditionally it is the job of one's family to support and guide such people. But what do you do when family, doctors and society fail such a person all at once? It's a tragedy. And the solution starts not with pointing fingers, but by looking deep into ourselves…

excuse me Michele Putnam, go to hell. I happen to be Bipolar, and have 3 beautiful children I would give my life for! Just because you have a mental illness, doesn't mean you should not be allowed to have children. It is close mined assholes like you with no understanding of mental illness that should not be able to have children. Seriously, get over yourself.

Michele Putman , are you bipolar? if not, shut up. you make it sound like all people who are bi polar are bad people. until you experience it first hand, you will NEVER understand what it means. so mabey you should just close your mouth before something else ignorant comes out of it.

lol, NO, I am NOT bipolar. No, not all bipolar people are bad, but many, many of them have behaviors they wish to NOT try to control and realize the environment, or a situation they are in that will help trigger an episode. Oh, I DO understand bipolar. I had to deal with a bitch that said she harmed my child, who manipulated, lied, and so much more. Bipolar is MORE than just a mood disorder, it is also a personality disorder that can help destroy lives due to people not taking responsibility for their actions. I say this because the mental health want those of severe mental illness like schizophrenia to take responsibility and accountability for their actions as well as anyone else who is on drugs, alcohol, or whatever. I do not need to have a personality disorder to understand, I just have been the receiving end of a few people who have a mental illness that refuse to do what is right.

Mentally ill or not, I have no sympathy for someone who kills and eats their child and there is no place for them in society and I don;t want mt tax dollars to pay for her to be pampered in an institution.

Mentally ill or not, I have no sympathy for someone who kills and eats their child and there is no place for them in society and I don;t want mt tax dollars to pay for her to be pampered in an institution.

I have a master's degree in forensic psychology – before any of you shout "death penalty", educate yourselves about what constitutes personality disorder, mood disorder etc and about the fact that there are conditions where someone is indeed criminally insane at the time of the crime. Now, the doctors and everybody else who knew that these parents were schizophrenic etc should be held accountable as well because this could have been prevented. It is also society's failure when things like these happen and we need to acknowledge that.

how many people do you know in your own family that are embarrassed about their mental condition so they don't talk about it? hmm? yeah… that's right. more than you know.

Now… ..now that you know some of your family members (near and far) are FUCKED UP in the head.. which one is gonna EAT her baby? ..you have 5 minutes to answer.. if you don't respond… your family members with mental problems (near and far) probably aren't going to EAT their BABY.

Guns dont kill people, people kill people.Therefor if I new my father had anger problems then I would be doing something sot that something like that would never appen!!.BTW If my sister came to me the night before she killed her child and told me she was HEARING VOICE,I would be concerned and take the child until she had been seen by a profsional Yes shes seen a professional before but there wasnt "a child" involved before either. Im sure if a professional knew she had a child ad knew her tate of mind,the child would have been placed in the amilys custody or DHS custody.

Most definitely. Especially since it happened three years ago, the woman's already received a verdict and been sentenced, and it was proven that this was due to postpartum psychosis in synergy with severe uncontrolled schizophrenia. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with our recent outbreak of "bath salts" related incidents.

Oh and let me get this straight? I MAY BE POINTING MY FINGER AT HER, BUT "YOUR" STICKNG UP FOR A WOMAN WHO MURDERD HER 3 WEEK OLD BABY, CUT OFF HIS HEAD AND TOES AND ATE THEM?!?!?!?!?! Maybe you should seek professional help yourself.

What you are saying is crazy and you sound illiterate anyways. Perhaps, you should get and education and work on your grammar before you post comments condemning people. Yes, I am a crazy, fruity nut and I love it, ask any one of my psychologist. I have 3, and children! Doesn't that get under your skin? Bi-Polar Disorder is a mood disorder by the way.

First congratulations, you looked it up on the internet so it must be true. You my dear from your raving and ranting are the one with the dangerous issues. Please seek professional help. You have no idea what you are talking about. Bi- polar is manic depressive which is high and low mood swings. It is a mood disorder. While some people do lie and are manipulative thisis not caused by being Bipolar its called being shady and decietful or if hallucinationtions are involved schizoid effective disorder. Which is a a personality disorder. Now Since you are uninformed I will explain you can have more than one disorder. And considering this woman wasn't even bipolar why are you bashin ppl that are? You are usin this babies tragedy for a personal agenda which is a manipulation of its own. So pease dear once again get profession help, not a professional opinion to validate your inferior fears.

I do not have dangerous issues. I am stating the facts. I looked up things on the internet that are facts. I was a BHT and work with residents who are bipolar. I do NOT care what you say, bipolar is more than just mood, MOST is personality disorder as well like I said. Here you go from the government. I do not care that bipolar is just called a mood disorder for I disagree and with all the behaviors of a person with bipolar it has the s/s of a personality disorder. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001935/

Like the rest of us said: you are uninformed, driving some type of agenda, and you are picking your evidence from the Web, which means shit. Go get a B.A. in psychology or sociology and we will stop arguing.

You were a BHT? You mean the position you can get with a GED and no working knowlegde of mental illness. The ones like you, who have no clue only make the situation worse, and make the jobs of people like me that much harder. I can tell you though from your words on here, that you DO have a mental disorder. You obviously don't like to be challenged, cannot stand to be wrong, You have a severe anger management problem as evidenced by the fact that you were talking to people that don't have bipolar but if anyone disagreed they must be Bipolar??? But I will let this be my last post because I will no longer inflame you but I must say one thing…. YOu looked it up on the internet? so… What it must be true huh? I don't care where you get your facts untill you have gone to school and studied and know what you are talking about, which you don't you are grossly misinformed, don't come to me or the public with this nonsense. Let this baby rest in peace and keep your opinions to yourself untill you have even the first idea of what you are talking about.

LOL @ you!!! You have no idea what I do for a living. Looks like you want to blame others due to your own faults of not getting help, recognizing what is going on, and so forth. It is YOU who makes it hard for YOU to get a job. Let me bust your bubble-I do not have a mental disorder at all and no severe anger problem. I will NOT keep my opinions and facts to myself. If you want a job then stop telling them you are bipolar to stop getting sympathy or using it as an excuse to not get a job. If you do get a job, acquire coping skills in order to keep the job. I only looked it up on the internet to back my words up. Most people with bipolar are in denial of many things, and you are in denial of taking responsibility for your own actions. That is great that you will not be responding to my posts. I have gone to school called college. Have a good night now!! lmao @ you!!

again, Michele….until you actually know what it feels like to be bipolar, take your "internet facts" and stuff them up your ass. You are a loud mouth who has her head up her ass. Seriously, you have No clue what you are talking about, must be nice to be so ignorant.

and as for going to college, so fricking what. So they can tell you how these people feel? Books and professors do not know shit as to what it is like to have this disease, and not all of us use it as an excuse for everything, or for sympathy. Again until you are diagnosed, and suffer with it everyday, shut your mouth.

Yes she is definately something else H duane but obviously astute she is not. Like she starts talking about me not having a job lol when i very obviously did not say that. I said people like her MAKE MY JOB HARDER. People who condemn others with mentall illness. I never said I didn't have a job. And I surely need no ones sympathy. I'm doing better with my life than most so called "sane" people ever will. I think bigoted riots like this are nothing more than something to shake my head at and chuckle at the pure redundancy of it all. I can't believe after all the information out there people still get this wrong.
And just for the poeple she argued with, you are correct Bipolar is a mood disorder NOT a personality disorder. It is defined as
Bipolar disorder — sometimes called manic-depressive disorder — is associated with mood swings that range from the lows of depression to the highs of mania. When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts in the other direction, you may feel euphoric and full of energy. Mood shifts may occur only a few times a year, or as often as several times a day. In some cases, bipolar disorder causes symptoms of depression and mania at the same time.
Although bipolar disorder is a disruptive, long-term condition, you can keep your moods in check by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder can be controlled with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy).

Now nowhere in there does it say anything about hallucinations or personality changes. Wow some people need to stay out of things they know nothing about. Oh and for the curious A BHT is a behavoiral health tech. A fancy name for someone who gets to go in and act superioir to ppl asking for help in a mental health facility when all they have is a GED or HD they are no better and usually no smarter than the people they are treating. There are the other half that are amazing people but the saying one bad apple……

You can say whatever. I know what I said is the truth and what I said got under your skin. Take responsibility for your own actions and feelings. There is no need to blame me for what is wrong with you.

What this woman did was so wrong on so many levels but really people? why should everyone wit mental illnesses suffer just because there are some people out there who are not takin care of theirs. I suffer from multiple illnesses and I have kids and a little sister. because of my meds and therapy I would NEVER do anything like this but I'm still mentally ill. she needs the right professional help. once she becomes in her right mind she will live with what she did for the rest of her life. if you don't suffer from mental illnesses or know anyone close to you who does than you do not know the horror we go through daily. we live in our own versions of hell daily. I hope the right justice is served here.

Being intellectually deficient and gullible does not mean you have a mental problem.
Being an asshole does not mean you have schizophrenia.
Talking to yourself because nobody wants to hear you does not mean you have schizophrenia.
Being argumentative does not mean you have Oppositional Defiance Disorder.
Only focusing on your own problems does not mean you have A.D.D.
Being happy then sad when something does not go your way does not mean you have Bi-polar.

Chances are you are just a gullible, irritable, annoying, argumentative, self righteous asshole made entirely of human and no pill will ever fix that.

Britney Davis, who would decide who is and who is not severely unstable? Psychiatrists who routinely force drug their victims with dangerous drugs known to turn depressed people in to stark raving murderous lunatics?! Or people like you who would sentence so many innocent people to such a harsh reality just because you think you are somehow special and deserve an easy life? THE WORLD OWES YOU AND PSYCHIATRISTS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. YOU OWE THE WORLD MUCH! Oh and it will collect soon if you don't start paying up you stupid little girl.

Christine Mattson Carlson – Furthermore with the, pardon the pun, insane amounts of well people being falsely diagnosed with mental disorders usually so either the "patient" customer can get more welfare or so the the so called professional can profit from the sale of toxic unproven drugs, it is absolutely outrageous to think that you would like to have all these poor misled people supervised in their own home in a failed attempt to stop this kind of thing happening again. If you believe your idea is a fair way to act in a democratic civilized country, would be a fail safe or would even work at all considering the sheer amounts of supervisors we would need then I put it to you that you are completely delusional and should be supervised at all times.

hahaha broken cognitive function! Are you a psychiatrist because that was very vague. Just because she is a violent dangerous animal does not mean we should act like her and sentence her to death. Why is it so hard for people not to get played? Silly monkeys.

Jenna, they're not your tax dollars. They're what you pay for the luxury of living in this country, and outside of voting for your representation you really don't get a say in how they're spent. Entitled brat. Also loling @ this comment with a John Lennon icon. Get real, chick.

Yes I have John Lennon as my profile pic, yes I am all for world peace. I am also a fierce mother and very protective of children in general. I understand people are insane but I would also not feel safe living with people in the world who are not safe in society. We don't know what would happen to her if she went to an insitution, she may eventually get out. I think it is safer for people who kill people to be in prison for life. I am glad you are satisfied with how your tax dollars are spent, but not everyone is. If this makes me an entitled brat then so be it.

This is not the first tine a mother kills and eats one of her babies(always during the child's infancy). So maybe, this is a female-instinct that we still don't know much about it. I know it's usually blamed on the mother's mental disorders, but it could be something still unknown about women. There are female animals who do the same thing; they eat one or two of their new born offsprings(i.e. dogs, wolves, etc.). This also maybe the reason behind why mothers love all their children except one. And the hated child can never understand why his/her mother always hated him/her but not the rest of her children. This unknown female-instinct could be the reason; the mother who hates one of her children wishes to kill her child. Motherhood is not alway about love; it involves hate too.

listen ill get that bitch and cut of her pussy the fuck? and what kinda doctor let this bitch go home with the baby are you fucking crazy? and the father should of tooken the baby evey1 has fault except for the poor child what had to go threw that FUCK THAT this bitchhh needs to be killed less crazy people in the world fucking come pingass.

Don't give fancy terms….she was a nutcase, and teh husband was irresponsible to leave the baby with the nutcase…and he goes to a Judas Priest concert to enjoy. fuck it man….he should be the most to burn in hell…he was not a nut case right….Again this is an example of not having the priorities right….The west trusts mental cases more (the extreme is where I come from where they chain them to pillars and treat like dogs)….Bash me if you want to…but be prepared to hear more news like this…like the Lanza one…my heart goes for the victims.
